Algeria is the heart and core of French North Africa, the home of 1,000,000 Frenchmen, a region enriched by billions in French investments and subsidies. Its land and its 8,000,000 Moslem natives, the French insist, have been integrated into the French nation on a basis of equality. But the statistics (e.g., average income of an Algerian Moslem family is about one-eighth that of a mainland French family), as well as the vast majority of Algerian natives, disagree.

From the nation's start, its three chief resources have been its fabulous mines of law, politics and social (including economic) organization. The abundance of material things -the bales...
...made more than $1,500,000. In 1944, while Governor Dewey, the Republican candidate for the presidency, was greeting a crowd gathered in front of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Democrat Sinatra made a point of passing by. Two minutes later the governor was facing a handful of hard-core Republicans, while almost everybody else was following Frankie Boy down Park Avenue...
